This hook is designed to be used with the pre-commit hook framework. It will check your commit string against the provided regex.

First you will need to setup pre-commit using their documentation.

Next you will need to enable commit message hooks: pre-commit install --hook-type commit-msg

Finally you can add this to your .pre-commit-config.yaml:

- repo: https://github.com/dtaivpp/commit-msg-regex-hook
  rev: v0.2.2
  hooks:
    - id: commit-msg-regex-hook
      args: ["--pattern='[A-Z]{3,4}-[0-9]{3,6} \\| [\\w\\s]* \\| .+'",
             "--failure_message='Commits should match the pattern: Card-ID | Name | Message'"]
      stages: [commit-msg]

**note: the backslashes in regex need to be escaped need to be escaped **double note: if you are having issues you can run with the --debug argument as well for additional logging.

With this you can achieve so many things. A good example is verifing deveopers have signed the DCO before allowing a commit.

- repo: https://github.com/dtaivpp/commit-msg-regex-hook
  rev: v0.2.2
  hooks:
    - id: commit-msg-regex-hook
      args: ["--pattern='Signed-off-by: .* <(?:[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+(?:\\.[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+)*|'(?:[\\x01-\\x08\\x0b\\x0c\\x0e-\\x1f\\x21\\x23-\\x5b\\x5d-\\x7f]|\\\\[\\x01-\\x09\\x0b\\x0c\\x0e-\\x7f])*')@(?:(?:[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?\\.)+[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?|\\[(?:(?:(2(5[0-5]|[0-4][0-9])|1[0-9][0-9]|[1-9]?[0-9]))\\.){3}(?:(2(5[0-5]|[0-4][0-9])|1[0-9][0-9]|[1-9]?[0-9])|[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9]:(?:[\\x01-\\x08\\x0b\\x0c\\x0e-\\x1f\\x21-\\x5a\\x53-\\x7f]|\\\\[\\x01-\\x09\\x0b\\x0c\\x0e-\\x7f])+)\\])>'",
             "--failure_message='Ensure you are signing the DCO'"]
      stages: [commit-msg]

If you would like to contribute to this project I am happy to accept contributions. Small note I use two spaces for indents and am not looking to swap.

Here is how you can contribute:

1. Fork the repo
2. Create a virtual envrionment python -m venv venv
3. Activate the virtual environment:

• Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
• Mac/Linux: source venv/bin/activate

4. Install the reqirements python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
5. Install our hooks:

• pre-commit install

And you are off to the races!

Before committing I would reccomend checking your build against unittest and the linter. If it doesn't pass it wont pass!

• python -m unittest test/test.py
• python -m pylint commit_msg_regex_hook

Make sure if you add a check to add a test case!
